Dunno why I liked Ellsworth, a city in and the county seat of Hancock, Maine, so much. From 2000-2010 Ellsworth was the fastest growing city in the entire state, with a growth rate of 20%. Maybe all that vigor and vitality caught my attention. We crossed a bridge, turned right, drove through town.
An instant after I took the picture, the men turned and waved. I wanted more bridge, water and local color - instead you see my two new friends, Local Celebrities 1 and 2 who mistook me for their own private papparazzi. While we were looking for a gas station on High Street aka Highway 1 when we discovered a "genuine" LLBean outlet (not to be confused with a "pseudo" outlet like you find in a mall) so of course we had to go in.
I called it a genuine outlet because I found three comfy cozy cushy pairs of wool socks, in the men's section, size small, for about $20. They are INCREDIBLY warm, cozy and comfy.
You only see two in the picture because, ha ha!! I'm wearing the third pair!! I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Turning back onto Hwy 1 towards Bar Harbor, we were headed to Acacia when out of nowhere there was another ice cream stand alert!
Why oh why am I in the middle of Maine and everybody is all out of Wild Maine Blueberry ice cream? I forced myself to enjoy a wild raspberry, with an extra serving of napkins. Maybe Ellsworth reminded me of Mystic Pizza, except it's not on the ocean, it's not in Connecticut, and I'm not Julia Roberts.
